Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

Chapter 995: 80th Birthday Banquet 16

As Bai Chenyao lifted his gaze towards Old Madam Mu, she felt a shiver run through her body, even though they were far apart, the aura and authority Bai Chenyao exuded made her hair stand on end.

But now, they were in the Mu Family’s home, in her territory.

No matter how formidable Bai Chenyao was, in the Mu Family, he was just a guest, merely a guest. There was nothing to fear.

With this thought, Old Madam Mu, somewhat apprehensive, straightened her back again, her murky eyes fixated on Bai Chenyao.

She wanted to see how, with the engagement still intact, Bai Chenyao would transfer the engagement originally belonging to Haiyun to that wild girl, Mu Tiantian.

Bai Chenyao’s words were concise, direct, clear, domineering, sharp, and indisputable.

"My wife will only be Tian Tian!"

The meaning was clear—don’t mention the engagement; for him, it wasn’t a problem at all!

Listening to this, Old Madam Mu trembled with rage.

"What did you say?"

Bai Chenyao slightly furrowed his brows, clearly exhausted of patience.

Mu Haiyun noticed and quickly stepped forward, trying to mediate.

"Grandma, you—"

"Haiyun!"

Furious eyes glared at Mu Haiyun, Old Madam Mu angrily scolded her for not living up to expectations.

"At a moment like this, do you really want to swallow your pride and let them have their way? And what about you? Has anyone considered you, thought about your feelings?"

"Studying so well abroad, having such good promotion opportunities, but as soon as you heard he had a woman by his side, you returned to the country without a word or care!"

"All these years of striving and progressing, what was it for, have you forgotten?"

Mu Haiyun’s face turned a bit pale, embarrassed and slightly dejected, due to being pointed out in front of Bai Chenyao by Old Madam Mu.

She struggled to maintain her composure, trying to appear unaffected, and smiled slightly, looking at Old Madam Mu.

"But Grandma, the person Mr. Bai is in love with is not me, it’s Tian Tian."

As soon as Mu Haiyun finished speaking, Old Madam Mu immediately refuted.

"What is Tian Tian! If she hadn’t suddenly interfered, you would still be furthering your studies abroad and would return by the year’s end to get engaged to Chen Yao!"

Hearing Old Madam Mu’s words, Mu Haiyun looked stunned.

It seemed she didn’t realize that she was supposed to be engaged to Bai Chenyao by this year’s end!

But all this was disrupted due to Mu Tiantian’s appearance.

Old Madam Mu’s persistent questioning left Mu Haiyun speechless.

She seemed very shocked at how close the original engagement date with Bai Chenyao was.

Due to Old Madam Mu’s words, the living room fell silent once again.

Seeing the insincere look on Mu Haiyun’s face, Mu Tiantian pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

Even before she could speak, Bai Chenyao, next to her, calmly but very coldly said,

"Since the engagement is already decided, there’s no chance to change the participants? Old Madam, do you really believe that?"

Old Madam Mu naturally believed it; the black and white letters were clear, and now wanting Mu Haiyun to marry Bai Chenyao based on feelings was impossible, only that written engagement paper was left.

As Old Madam Mu was about to speak, Shen Xin, who had been quiet all along, slowly lifted her gaze and gently said,

"Chen Yao, it isn’t necessarily about the engagement paper. If you and Haiyun had always been well, would we be in this situation today?"
